Ymmm........... Yeah after review of the reports .......Good coffee!
This is why when I reported this to the EPA about the /ESP for loss of the long coding string, for how it affected the CAA emissions in the engine controller, "with actual 's displayed ". 18061/P1653/005715
These 's were later vacated with updates or replacements hiding the claims by VW.
Maybe that is why Kurt Immekus didn't come to the NASTF meeting in Vegas Uwe, because he had full knowledge we were going to blow the lid on this.
It should be noted we were there in order to demand access to repair information, or details on behalf of the aftermarket, and on our own dime.
We are legally entitled for a reasonable fee, & need this information; as do others! being YOU........... in order to repair vehicles that are guaranteed to us by the final rule of the CAA regulations correctly. It was clear to me we were not being given access to emission related repairs.
When reported to the EPA .........VW tried to say, as did the EPA blindly siding with VW; that the is not emission related, nor could I be correct.
Now we see that isn't true now don't we?
I got to stand in the corner on this for over 5 years.........
Car manufacturers and governing agencies need to be made accountable for this information being released,........ too stop a monopoly.
This conspiracy only shows that manufacturers will do only what is in the interest of making money, while clearly acting in outright nefarious acts.
This is why something like the "Right to Repair Act" (RTRA).......... is of utmost importance.
I found it very suspicious that the VAG test module for readiness, for the "Catalyst" was not displayed/omitted on the VAG side of the VAS tester, verse the OBD2 spec, as is the readiness test and basic setting test omitted in the 0x01-04-200 sequence.
This last critical test in order to pass SMOG, actually takes an exceptionally long time due to not being in the nefarious test mode.....further blocking the test.
What I state can be seen and observed in in 0x01-15 and you will see as an emulator of the VAS ........ doesn't display it either for the reason it is omitted in the stack. I reported this to RT and the EPA a while back. The nice thing with , is it supports the OBD2 spec too so you can go there and observe the test + the readiness monitor that isn't displayed on the VAG side.
Now the fun part .............By 5 pump chumping the gas pedal and unplugging the rear sensors, as seen in the video above posted by Uwe; you can observe how much faster the CAT test will pend. This being the fact that the controller given the opportunity to actually run the test.......does it expediently, no different to other basic setting readiness tests I shoot my mouth off about.
Just remember you saw it here first................
It's time for the EPA to do their job and clean up the aftermarket tuners, and the for delete devices, because the aftermarket deletes are far more egregious of an act violation .........than what VW did here.
Stop grandstanding and show your relevance.........Big FAT over regulated Government!
I am not down with invisible hands.......... it's time for action.......either enforce and rewrite the regulations, as being accepted/voted by the people within reason, or shut down/dismantle the agency saving money.

2009 Jetta, GTI, EOS, Rabbit - Module Long Coding
The above listed vehicles are equipped with a long coded module. Tester software (SW) 14.88.00 may not code these modules correctly and it will take SW 14.89.00 before this condition is corrected. In the meantime, please read out any long coded units before replacing the module or the instrument cluster, in order to manually reinstall the coding in a replacement part. If the coding has been lost for any reason, try to code through the GTI test plan and, if an error is still returned, contact the VW Technician’s Help line. A workaround process is in place.
